Toyota Corolla Model (E-120) 2002--2008 Owner's and Fan Club

Jacked her up, took it speeds 40 - 60 kmph. It doesn't give any noise.

Also doing a zig zag drive on a plane road. ( this worked in Wagonr sound increased on zigzag.

Also tried the neutral in drive trick, as some people suggested if it was gear noise it won't come in neutral

For now I haven't got time. The mechanic also called me today. If you have time visit we should check the rear hub bearings.

I remember taking out rear seats and sound from the increased.

I need to check the under carpet for rubber seals aswell.

I agree general tires are noisy. But I can definitely differentiate between tire noise and bearing noise.

Do you think they will be having nitrogen and system to pressurize it to 200 psi?
They don't have these things
The reason he give to open dashboard was he said that 80% evaporator got leak on this model.

[Xulfiqar]

Stop visiting idiots with tools.

Many ac shops have ability to test the evaporator in place. Its quite straightforward.

[Xulfiqar]

Did you use stethescope on the bearing bosses while it was raised?

Check the spindles/hubs and the gearbox where the diff is housed.

Also check the tires for cupping, cupped tires make a roaring noise.

Salam All,
I hope you guys are doing good.
My corolla has clocked 127k km MashAllah and recently i got a new clutch and pressure plate of her. After the work done, im experience slight vibration during idling and during drive. I mean when im standing on a traffic signal, i can feel the vibration.
I have revisited my mechanic and he has again tighten the bolts of the engine mounts but with a normal screw tighting chabi and not with a Torque wrench. He is also not agreeing that the vibration is there and have said its normal. I argued with him that im driving her from the last 1 decade and i know how it used to behave before this job.
Secondly i didnot find increase in pick after the job done. My mechanic said that the fuel pump need to be checked as i havent changed or washed the fuel filter. What do you guys says about it??
I know its a wrong measure to check the pick but if you try to move the wheels from the stand still you cannot or i might not be able to do it properly.
Pls guide me about the vibration issue.

[chinyoti]

I am definitely sure we do not have a stethescope at the work shop, But i think we can purchase one.

Ill still get it checked. Once i am unstuck with the daily work.

Its like car makes the sound on load, How ever the sound is there when im driving alone.

I have tried changing tires with a friends car took a 5 km round the sound was same.

How do you think i should be checking the rear wheel bearings ? The person installing rear shock absorbers turned the hub with hands and said they seem ok, But for that the car needs to speed up atleast 40 kmph

For starters we changed front wheel bearings, Which were brand new. Later we changed the gear box, Thirdly the mechanic suggested we should try a new differential kit, lastly we changed the hub. all to no avail.

With consulting you and removing back seats, You suggested the sound could be from the back and houling in the front, Now i am only left with checking the floor rubber seals and rear wheel bearings.

Clutch pressure plate make ? Cost ?

I purchased 1.3cc xli at 124K kms, in 2019 changed clutch pressure at 127K (I guess) part: make Aisin works smooth till date.

In your case seems as if the replace part or fitting is not up to the mark.

Hello lovely people.

Just wanted to share some amazing fuel average figures out of my 1.8 Corolla Altis AT.

Using 100% Hi octane and little longer route then usuall.

[irfanjazba]

I have Xli 2007, the issue I am facing is that the car did not pick after a short time of ride, recently tunning done even twice, the fuel pump has been changed as well. but still the same issue. it did not pick in the middle of the road during driving. when switch off and again start again, it starts running. kindly advise.

[mustafasethi]

Did you get the flywheel sent to the kharadia also for the fitting of the clutch plate and pressure plate ?

If your flywheel wasn't faced / rubbed to equal it , then your car will vibrate in idle and also while engaging 1st gear. Also life of your new clutch plate will be very very short

[brownrose78]

If fuel pump is new, then it could be weak current issue. I also faced similar issues when my plugs got older and weak

[haroon47]

Mine is also Aisin. It is working ok. The vibration is bit gone as my mechanic tighten the mounting bolt. For cost you can inbox me.

[KamranAslam]

Haroon: This below reply seems for you.

If it was not rubbed, then vibration will decrease with the passage of drive.

[KamranAslam]

Murtaza: don't you think its lil low for Highway run. I will say should be in 13 - 14 / ltr

[haroon47]

I dont think so he sent it to machinist for its fixing. Ill ask. Vibration is bit removed by tightening the bolts again.
What if the flywheel wasnt faced/rubbed to equal. How to resolve the issue.

[KamranAslam]

Solution is to face it again making sure it evenly done, incorrect/uneven clamped at machine and faced can cause this too, shaky flywheel will have vibration, tighten the bolt you already did if still not good then to replace it.

[chinyoti]

This is city drive with idling and traffic jams.

[haroon47]

I talked with my mechaninc and aksed the same question. He said he didnot faced it as it was not needed. If the flywheel have some issues, the jerks will be at the time of releasing clutch and not idling. Need more guidance.
Im also thinking to ask him to open the gearbox again.

Did you replaced the bearing i.e: New Bearing along with Clutch Pressure ?
